Before sharing today’s post, I wanted to let you know this… Your dreams aren’t made, or broken, by anyone but you. You have wisdom within you that you can never learn in any textbook or classroom. You are creative and loved and divinely blessed with capabilities beyond only you can imagine. Transitions, disappointments or any other kind of inward…

There are many reasons why sweet potatoes are rock star tubers. They are versatile, vibrant in colour, and pack a serious nutritional bang for their buck. Their flexibility is highlighted in this dish, serving as an edible bowl for spicy and flavourful beans. Whole roasted sweet potatoes are such a great (and super cheap!) grocery item…

When I originally planned this recipe, I had my sights firmly on making a warm winter salad. I envisioned julienned carrots, plump orange segments and fresh coriander, and then all that all kind of changed… My food choices are very much dictated by the weather. And since English Winter (yes, that well and truly deserves Capitalisation) seems to…

I’ve been thinking a lot about the purpose of self care lately, and trying to bind more love-filled exercises into my day. I no longer remember the day when I first realised that meditation (self-care) and good food were not self-inflicted punishments but a matter of attempting to instil more peace and joy into my…

Meet my new mornings favourites: These pretty, nutrient-dense, insta-worthy smoothies and juices to give you the glow. Over the years, I’ve learned that breakfast is non-negotiable for me. If I don’t get in a combination of essential fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, well….it’s not pretty. I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t bare the idea…

Time for something a little different slightly better than average today… Pizza! I’m starting the year off right. (Read – with pizza). Since it’s January, I also decided to go against the grain and make a pizza (base) that was neither low carb, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, low fat, soy-free or fat-free (or made with purely vegetables). There’s certainly a time and a…

I’m not sure if it was my inner food stylist that needed to make these shiitake, sweet potato, lentil buddha bowls, or if there was some sort of biological need for nutrient dense vegan food this afternoon. Or, maybe even the idea of some tangy lemon tanhini dressing sparked it. I just started thinking about the…

I turned twenty-five yesterday. Thats a whole quarter of a century. How can that be? I say this every year at the shock in which time seemingly slips through our fingers. I couldn’t quite believe it at 19, 21, 23, 24, but 25 seems to terribly mature; grown-up. Throughout our lives, we make decisions often for unknown reasons,…

There are many food trends out there currently, that are unwarranted and to me, somewhat bizzare (refined sugar free anyone?), but when it comes to acai bowls, the buzz is 100% deserved. The acai berry has been heralded for an array of health and healing benefits but its strongest asset deffinately has to be the taste….

Since we spent Christmas Day at home this year (read – not in a pub stuffing our faces with nut roast!), we decided it would be good for the soul to spend the afternoon someplace other than the sofa on New Years Day. Vegan friends had reccommended The Earth and Stars a while ago, and…
